That's the problem with you types of cynical people. You try to find problems that aren't there. Just because you adhere to the cult of neo feminism doesn't mean that women can't fulfill a certain gender role just because you say so. If you don't like it, don't play. Stop shoving your flawed activism down our throats and grow a sense of humor.

Any way, ignoring that thing know as quorthon,
The story was the number 1 thing needed to be improved upon

Re: Talking Point: Five New Year's Resolutions for Nintendo

I don't think it needs to do a complete 180 on the family image (god forbid every release on it be a rated M game), but they should focus on making their consoles less gimmicky. I mean, I played smash bros. For years with the nunchuck before realizing what the classic controller was. Make the system and the gaming staples like Zelda use more normal controls and focus on innovating the gameplay, not how you play it. (I don't care for twilight princess' use of the wii mote to control that bird). It's a hard balance.

This is really a case of new metagame. Everyone finds a an "OP" fighter and before people find effective counters to it, everyone scrambles to call for a nerf. This is just like every moba or other games. There's always going to be powerful characters that seem like they have no weakness when in reality it just hasn't been found yet

You know I have to say, these "pro MLGamers" have quite a lot of weight in their opinion. Now I'm not saying they are, but they could easily say "Mario's fireball is too OP BECAUSE OF THE RANGE AND LOW LEARNING CURVE" and many people would agree. I'm just saying that I think we hold their opinions a little too highly. It's a bit concerning.

For all those that say "how is this news?"
1. All newspapers have things called "comic strips" which isn't news. Yet nobody complains so don't start complaining right now.
2. If you don't like it, don't click on the article.

Now, on to the article
You need to play around the OP ness of characters. You probably didn't even notice this Diddy stuff until this "pro" mentioned it.
Besides it was reported by Kotaku. Not a good site.

Re: Poll: Which is the Best Pokémon Game?

While I don't think every weak pokemon needs a mega, I can say that the balance they have of popular vs weak megas is acceptable. Beedrill went from zero to hero literally overnight. Pidgeot became distinct from his other early bird (no pun intended) cousins, pinsir not just an inferior heracross. I do agree that less fan favorites needed megas. 2 mewtwo and charizard forms? Unecessary. But then again, they do look super awesome. And actually, meta gross had been waning in strength ever since it gained weakness to dark and ghost in gen 6.

I kind of wish though that they'd gives some super super weak pokemon (like noctowl or farfetchd) first an evolution, and then a mega. Imagine the porygon family. Porygon 2 with eviolite has incredible defenses, but porygon z is a generic, underpowered, slowish special attacker. If that got a mega, we'd see use for both forms.

Personally black 2 was the game that got me into pokemon again after a 3 year pause. (I even skipped the first black and white) I rather liked the slightly more mature themes and post game content. It was pretty much the culmination of all the 2D work that Gamefreak had been honing for over 15 years. The sprite art was awesome, and the variety of pokemon to catch was extensive to make teams. Polestar studios most people hate but honestly, I thought it was fun. It should have been more reliable and consistent in how to make movies, but I really liked again the stories that made in it. Both the romance movies and the unova defense force arcs were incredible. It made me feel more of a hero than the story did.
The PWT was probably the best competitive training area second only to the emerald battle frontier. All these great remixes of the battle themes, they were legitimately challenging. The remixed Steven battle theme and the hoenn leader theme, I felt, was better than the alpha sapphire versions. And the pokemon designs, I know vanillite and garbodor exist, but have you seen hydreigon? And black tower or white tree hollow, my goodness. My most favorite postgaje challenge ever. They were actually hard. No items, multiple floors, one use of a pokemon center each floor. If anyone bothered to complete it, you got some of the greatest rewards possible: Shiny pokemon.

I understand the like of the other gens. I personally believe alpha sapphire as pokemon x and y the good edition. I just want to say that black 2 is underrated for all the wrong reasons. It has what I've wanted for ages. Older protagonists, slightly more mature and darker plots, extensive post game content, connectivity with games that came before, difficulty settings (they should not have required the use of another ds and game) and actual rewards for your efforts. You get a shiny haxorus just for seeing every unova pokemon. I can only hope that Gamefreak goes back to the 5th gen style. As much as I like ORAS, I can't stand the chibi-esque designs of the characters.
I love almost every pokemon game (except for pearl, it's a bit slow so I only really like), but I respectfully put my case as to why I like black 2, and I hope you guys will also respectfully put your opinions.
